Marguerite Ann Maddock ’ Silence is more eloquent than words.” Marguerite is one of our quiet classmates whose beautiful blue eyes are the envy of her classmates. During her studies at S. H. S. she has followed the commercial course. Although Marguerite was not a participant in intramural sports, she was a faithful spectator at basketball and football games. A nightly visitor at the library, Marguerite spends many happy hours reading current literature; she is also an ar¬ dent movie fan. Marguerite’s plans for the future are indefinite, but her interest in the commercial field will probably provide a successful future. Isabel Harriet-Lee McClellan ”Mac” .... ”Lee” To a young heart everything is fun.” Isabel came to us in her junior year from Dean Academy. Although she has been with us only two years, she is very much a part of the Class of ’45. She has shown an interest in school activities by being a member of the Glee Club and serving on the Pep Squad for two years. In her senior year, she took part in the Dramatic Club and Le Cercle Fran¬ cois, and her job as head of the succ essful senior cake sale deserves special commendation. Mac hopes to go to junior college and then enter into social work. We hope she will be successful. Ethel Anna McFarlane ”Scotty” ”A merry heart doth doeth good like medicine.” Ethel is that vivacious senior with the cheerful disposition. She has been an outstanding member of the Class of 1945, always ready to take part in extra¬ curricular activities. She played basketball for three years and was a librarian for four years, holding the office of treasurer during her senior year. She played the violin in the Orchestra and was the girl councillor in her freshman year. She has always been selected to serve on decorating comhiittees for our dances. Scotty is a roller skating enthusiast and a lover of sports. She plans to attend a business school after graduation, and we feel sure that, with her cheerful disp osition and her agreeableness, she will make Somerset High proud of her in the business world.

Wilbert George Langfield Wisdom is better than rubies” Will’s is a gentlemanly personality which ranks him high in the various phases of school life, social as well as scholastic. He has shown marked interest in football, basketball, and baseball, and he was elected boy councillor in his senior year. His out- of-school interests are reserved for stamp collecting and in sailing the bounding main. Will is courteous, both in class and to his fellow students, but a mis¬ chievous side permits him rarely to miss an occasion in playing some prank, for which he invariably teams up with Donald Leach. He has served on several dance committes and is always wiling to oblige any class in putting up the lights, again with his pal, Leach. Will’s ambition is to become a chemist. With your ability and ambition, Will, we are certain suc¬ cess will crown all your achievements. Donald Benjamin Leach ”10 God, thy country, and thy friend be true.” Donald, one of the scientific-minded members of the class, has always been on the job whenever the school needed an electrician for any of the school activities. He has been active in many of the school affairs, having been manager of the football team in his freshman and sophomore years and manager of the basketball team when he was a junior. In his sophomore year Donald was vice-president of the Science Club of which be was a member for four years. His interests are not only scientific, however, for in the newly organized Le Cercle Francais he was elected treasurer. Donald has taken the college course and intends to go to Brown University next Fall where he will major in chemical engineering. Because of his sincere interest in his work, we know Donald will make good. Janice Elizabeth Lockhart Content with the present whateir it may be.” Janice, who has made many friends, gets along with whomever she comes in contac t. Her motive in life is not only to make good at whatever she does, but also to find enjoyment in doing it. After getting her driver’s license, Janice acquired her own auto¬ mobile in which she drove groups of classmates and friends to many of the school games and dances. Being interested in many subjects, she has taken a general course during her four years at Somerset. Her thoughts of the future have varied from nursing to office work. However, we know her interest in whatever she finally undertakes will mark her for success.

John McGrady, Jr. A lion among women, he is a most dreadful thing.” Mac came to Somerset High via Pottersville Grammar School. In his third year he was chosen boy councillor to represent our junior class. Chosen as one of the Somerset representatives to Boys’ State, he was elected County Commissioner. His ath¬ letic achievements in football and basketball deemed him man of the hour and he captained the basketball team to victory. His persuasiveness of manner and esquire-attire marked him a man among women. His sense of humor and ability to take a joke have been seen both in school and out. Mac was official S. H. S. chauffeur, ready to serve at all times with his “limousine.” We are certain Mac will attain suc¬ cess in his future ambition, that of an automobile salesman. Alfred Medeiros ”McGrew” .... ”Al” ”Let us live then, and he glad.” McGrew came to Somerset High from the Wilbur Grammar School, bringing with him his zestful, devil-may-care personality. Always an active member of the Class of ’45, a dance or social affair would not be complete without him. In ’41 he was a mem¬ ber of the Boys’ Glee Club, being a most valuable asset to that organization. Upon completion of Somerset High School, McGrew intends to join Uncle Sam’s Navy. Smooth sailing, Al. Mary A. Mori arty ”Grace was in all her steps, heaven in her eye.” Pretty and quiet Mary came to us from Pot¬ tersville and since then she has been dear to all her friends. Choosing the commercial course upon her entrance, she has gained respect from all her teach¬ ers. If you have enjoyed the refreshments at our class dances, you can thank Mary, for she is most certin to be on the refreshment committee. Mary is also a very good dancer, having received most of her practice at the U. S. O ' , with Pat Silvia. She can also drive, being one of the few senior girls who can. As yet, Mary has not decided what her future shall hold, but whatever it is, we all know she will succed. We wish you luck, Mary.
